Awesome Stuff & A 400 Celebration Giveaway

Lots of awesome stuff from the weekend to share

Hillary tweeted me. How cool is THAT?

A couple weeks ago I won a super sweet Canari Pink*Star kit from Hillary Biscay. I was actually spinning away on my trainer when I read her blog announcement that I had won and wow! was I super,duper psyched!!

This beautiful kit arrived over the weekend and I could not wait to try it out. Lucky for me, it fit perfect and Coach had a nice little 3 hour grind-n-climb session planned for me on Sunday giving me the perfect opportunity to try it out. Oh-my-comfortable bike shorts Batman!! Longer rides can beat up the old HooHa, especially when you add in copious amounts of sweat but these shorts were a dream. Not sure if it was the total badassness that Hillary put in 'em(hello, I've done 50 IM's, Leadman 250, Ultraman, etc.)or that my booty had BISCAY writtin across it or that Canari just makes a really comfy short

Don't know and don't care. What I do know is that I am on a mission to find more of these.

In other AWESOME news, Lola started swim lessons this weekend. She is already lapping me and putting out 1:30 100's. Yeah, she's awesome sauce.

Over the weekend, I finally hit the 400 followers mark. I have been promising a celebration when we hit that epic number so.....wanna win some cool stuff??

I have a SECRET AWESOME GOODIE BAG for the first giveaway-there will be several!!

I, for one, love your diet and nutrition advice. I would love to hear more about what you eat, etc. I am a TERRIBLE eater, but lucky enough to be able to keep it in check to a point with IM training. I'd love to drop a few and would love recipes and ideas!

Mmmmm ... how old is Lola that she is swimming 1:30/100 yards? I would do almost anything to get to that speed.:) Sooo should have started swimming when I was young! I love following fellow triathletes and your the journey of awesomeness! Keep on blogging please!

I found your blog during your Another Mother Runner Highlight-congrats on a fabulous 2011!I would like to learn more about heart rate training. I am a new runner and am training for my first Half Marathon (3/4/12) and will actually be running an ultra (126.2) relay in mid February. I would love to know how to use my new HRM to train smarter-not worrying about finishing times, just that I finish each event!!
